Whats the ratio Del?2.1?

we have been doing this for years glenn has some nice copper that we mix with two strands of brass and two of copper which makes a nice strong smooth snare suitable for fence lines or peg snares we only use copper on our own snares we work our selves the mixof brass and copper gives a more duller sheen and is less visible to to legged theives

There was a topic on here about ruby snares some where,thats where i got the idea from.my ratio is 2 brass 1 copper my copper wire is a little thicker than the brass

the real old scottish ruby snares were four strands of brass and two of bronze , copper is softer than bronze. i use a special kind of copper slightly thicker than the brass and stronger , i make a four strand snare using two of brass and two of copper , its as thick as a 6 strand brass wire very pliable , and strong, fast running and good for fencelines , and pegged snares , woodga and i have been using them for a few years , infact i have 6 drums lying here for woodga to collect on saturday when he comes up and 6 for geordie also.

moley , woodga even wanted george,s 6 drums along with his 6 that i,ve got for him, so i,m afraid you have no chance , i wouldn,t say he,s desperate or anything .

I used welding wire that comes on a small roll once, the snare held its shape well and would return to shape very easily but was too brittle in practice.

 

Never tryed copper, I would imagine it needs to be just the right guage..........
